no I wouldnt advise it
stone masonry is a trade that takes years to learn
of course someone would love to sell you a tool
they are salespeople
that is their job
and you are their prey :;):
Bullnosing is not a DIY job

I found a company called ATS Diamond Tools who said they can sell me a variable speed grinder and the bulldozing tool to get my builder to do the bulldozing as there is a fair amount to do. They said it is fairly straightforward. Would anyone advise this? Husband is a dentist and he says he may have a go as it is his work in miniature!!

you will also need different grades of paper to get the finish right. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it but as Luton says, stonemasonry is a skilled profession and you could end up spending a long time on it and still not getting the right finish

I posted these pictures on paving expert years ago but they give a perfect comparison of the difference between tumbled grey and tumbled black:
